Yeah I don’t know. Assuming you can legally, that it meets regs, then you need to account for the mains voltage and frequency. These are made for 230v 50Hz.
- Comment on Yeah, the Harvard Bellevue cemetery 1 day ago:
In the UK we have a standard which is kind of the authority of ensuring items confirm and are safe. These plugs will be BS 1363 (BS means British Standard). If you Google that you’ll find the details.
The sockets have an internal mechanism which only opens when the top ground plug which is longer pushes the live and neutral open while they are so far in that they are insulated.
It really is a very well thought out design. It’s not often I get to feel proud being British but this design is one that I do!
- Comment on Yeah, the Harvard Bellevue cemetery 2 days ago:
The UK design probably wouldn’t short this but still a dangerous thing to do. The live and neurtal pins are insulated so by the time they have made contact in the socket there are no bare pins to make contact.

I know what you mean. I only carry one because when I go for a long walk I might meet some mushrooms, I carry a knife made for mushroom cutting. Prior to this I never had a need to unless it was a Stanley knife for working on stuff.
- Comment on The UK has its own network of Flock-style AI cameras. So where’s the outrage? 3 days ago:
That person is wrong anyway. We can carry a knife but there are restrictions. Some knifes are completely banned though, zombies, etc.
I carry a 3" non-locking knife with me often. Totally legal.

I don’t think frog face thought through what that saying meant. One bad apple ruins the barrel. Even if he casts out the bad apples the barrel is trained.

I had one of these come through the door yesterday. It’s bad enough I have to look at this twat on the news. I can choose to turn off my phone, TV, etc. But now his twatish frog face is appearing in my home!
I get political post is allowed. But can I do anything about being forced to look at a certain person, logo or specific images?

My wife had one like this too. It has been in water for months, not dying but not growing either. Then finally a tiny root is now shooting off - slowly!

- Comment on Anon hears a dying wish 1 week ago:
When I was 16 I had a temp job doing the bins at a hospital. One floor was cancer patients. There was one woman who always said hello to me with a big smile. It stuck with me because I couldn’t understand why somebody in that situation was being so nice to somebody she only saw for 5 mins a day.
Next floor down was for old people. That was a lot more scary than the cancer ward. People dying unexpectedly, aggressive old men, shit all over the toilet floors. I’m glad I did only the bins.

My wife is lactose intolerant and we always have soya milk in the house. I don’t drink tea or coffee and only have milk for cereal, so I just have been having soya for about 15 years.
When my son was a bit older we thought we’d make some milk shakes for him and his friends. I had one too, and boom. Massive shits and wind. Never used to be a problem for.me but now it is.

- Comment on 'Criminal' flag-raising causing alarm and distress, court told 5 weeks ago:
And many have killed while bearing the flag.
- Comment on 'Criminal' flag-raising causing alarm and distress, court told 5 weeks ago:
The people doing this use the flag intentionally because it makes it almost impossible to complain about it. They’ve highjacked the flag and warped what it stands for.
There is also an element of 90’s football hooliganism. Before this recent right-wing stunt, when I see a st Georges flag raised my first thought is the person raising it is a football idiot.
So I don’t think it’s people hating their country or the flags specifically, it’s more about disliking the morons who use it and what they think it stands for.
- Comment on Major incident declared near RAF Fairford as men held on suspicion of explosives offences 1 month ago:
That’s seems more plausible now. I did also have a thought that perhaps the US is testing the UK abilities. But then why would they have fortified the gates and such.
- Comment on Major incident declared near RAF Fairford as men held on suspicion of explosives offences 1 month ago:
If it were Russia they would be doing this by some foreign proxy team. Also explosives doesn’t seem Russia’s style. I am also learning towards Iran or some anti-zionist agency. Iran still makes more sense.

- Comment on France says EU’s ‘Made in Europe’ law should not include the UK 1 month ago:
It sounds like they specially chose Made In Europe instead of Made In EU so they can choose members outside the EU. Saying UK left the EU is irrelevant if that’s the case. It should be measured on other factors, same as they should for other non-EU European countries.
- Comment on NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments 1 month ago:
My son was recently diagnosed, meeting the criteria of autism. While I’m no expert along the way we did learn a few things. The school can refer. The GP can refer to NHS which itself is confusing because some doctors say they can’t and some say they can. We went down the “right to choose” option. This is only available in certain areas of England, basically the parents find a clinic which offers this service then go to the GP for them to approve and send the request over to the clinic. I assume this is funded by the NHS.
This took us 4 months from begging of the process to getting the result. But it depends which provider you use.
The school said their referral is faster than the NHS but still takes a long time, usually years. Reading the article I think the added delays are probably against the school and NHS option, but it’s not really clear to me.
I’d say anybody in need of an assessment, go with right to choose, if available. And speak to the schools SEND personnel. Do parenting courses or courses on ASD/ADHD (we did triple P). All of this will allow you to have a collection of teacher/parent/sendco assessments and evidence. Do this before going to the GP.
- Comment on Far-right activist Daniel Thomas slashes dinghy in Channel with blade while rescue worker onboard 1 month ago:
I saw a video where he was talking about this. He said something along the lines of “we headed back to shore and ran out of fuel then, um, you know.” Then switched topic and totally moved over that part.
I would find it hilarious if the RNLI had to tow their boat back to shore. But it shows how dumb these people are.
